Is street demand for opiates at an all time high because my elementary school D.A.R.E. officer was right and the pushers really are that good at making addicts out of straight'n'narrow folks?

This can be directly linked to someone at Purdue Pharma and/or similar organizations going 'We need to sell more Percocet, Oxys, Roxys, etc.'and pushing the shit. That's who needs to be targeted, not the poor mules being stuffed with pills and shoved across borders.
